Joining an Archipelago Session

Connecting to server

Once in game, join whatever lobby you wish, and you should see the AP connection fields which consist of:

• Slot Name: your name in the multiworld. This is the name you entered in the YAML.
• Password: optional password, leave blank if no password was set.
• Server URL: (default: archipelago.gg).
• Server Port: (default: 38281).

Once everything is entered click the Connect to AP button to connect to the server, and you should be connected!

Start the game whenever you are ready.

Gameplay

The Risk of Rain 2 players send checks by causing items to spawn in-game. That means opening chests or killing bosses, generally. An item check is only sent out after a certain number of items are picked up. This count is configurable in the player's YAML.

Chat/Commands

You can talk to other in the multiworld chat using the RoR2 chat. All other multiworld remote commands list in the commands guide work as well in the RoR2 chat. You can also optionally connect to the multiworld using the text client, which can be found in the main Archipelago installation.
